Have an image slide show, video call or skype with family and friends. Why would you want to mirror your phone or tablet’s screen to a larger display? You can show any app, websites, presentations and more. Not enough to really matter, but enough to point out. The first thing I noticed was that the top and bottom edges of the Note 2 and Nexus 7 displays were slightly cut off when viewed on my 55 inch Samsung TV. Everything you see on your device will be shown in 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) on your TV. Your device’s display will be mirrored on your TV. Tap the device and after a few seconds the connection will be established. In the image above, you can see that it has found my Onkyo A/V receiver that has the Miracast connected to an HDMI port.

Once turned on, it will show a list of the devices that you can connect to.

On the Note 2 (shown above), it’s called Screen Mirroring.

It can be called something different on each device. To connect the device to the Miracast, you have to find the screen mirroring setting on the device. I preformed my testing with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 smartphone and a Google Netablet. You can view a list of verified compatible devices here.

Miracast is natively supported on Android 4.2 and up, although support can vary per device.
